Default Sidewinder Strategic Commander problems


Age of Conan uses some pretty long macros and the timing of button
presses differs as well.
I can accomplish some things by using two different methods.

Method 1 Sequence Mode example: F2
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 11111111111112
Method 1 explanation: Basically you need to delay the pressing of "1"
and "2" for awhile after pressing "F2" so the numerous "1"s succeed in
that goal.
Pros: very stable. never ceases functioning
Cons: doesn't allow for anything more complex than three button combos,
if a combo gets interrupted sometimes the game character stands there
executing each "1" press and you can't do anything else

Method 2 Sequence Mode example: F2 [Delay 1 second] O [Delay 250ms] 2 1
Pros: can create complex macros like the above and maybe even more
complex that still actually work in-game
Cons: often ceases functioning altogether with game not registering ANY
sidewinder button presses. Exiting Strategic Engine and restarting it
fixes this. This strange event never ever happens unless the [Delay]
commands are used.
